Tracking and background suppression in the planned gamma array of DESPEC — •Stanislav Tashenov and Jürgen Gerl — Gesellschaft für Schwerionenforschung mbH, Planckstr. 1, 64291 Darmstadt, Germany

For decay spectroscopy experiments with implanted radioactive beams within the NUSTAR/DESPEC project a high resolution Ge gamma tracking array is being designed. A new dedicated gamma ray tracking algorithm is being developed, featuring reconstruction of the events with incomplete energy deposition. Exploiting the tracking capability of the array, a background suppression method has been developed based on the separation of events originating from the target and from localized background sources. Monte-Carlo simulations show that a background suppression factor of 10 up to 100 can be achieved. The dependance of the tracking and suppression efficiency on the detector properties will be discussed.
